I would like to know if anyone knows of any recent or past studies on
the affects of immigration policies on the use of health and medical
care services by unauthorized to work migrant and immigrant workers. I
suspect that recent immigration policing (e.g., raids, incarcerations,
and deportations) has forced these workers to shy away, more than
before, from participating in health programs or seeking medical care.
